Ross Roe recognized as Outstanding Older Worker
Grants Pass resident
Ross Roe, 80, has been recog-
nize as the 2008 Outstanding
Older Worker for Oregon by
Experience Works, the na-
tion’s largest provider of
training and employment
services for older workers.
The Experience Works
Prime Time Awards Program
is held annually in Washing-
ton, D.C., to honor one
outstanding older worker from
each state, the District of Co-
lumbia, and Puerto Rico.
During 2008, Roe cele-
brated two special events: his
25th anniversary of owning
Roe Motors and his 80th
birthday.
After graduating from
Northwestern University in
Illinois in 1950, he served in
the U.S. Army for two years
as motor officer at Ft. Bragg,
Elementary Schools Lunch
Menu Sponsored by
H OMETOWN E
N.C. During his service he
received three service patents
for improvements to the M-
47 Gen. Patton tank.
He left the Army to pur-
sue his passion -- motor vehi-
cles -- working for General
Motors Corp. dealerships in
Michigan and Illinois until
starting Roe Motors in 1983.
Throughout his life, he
has been active in the com-
munity. Roe states that his
proudest volunteer accom-
plishment is the annual Tree
Plant, which he helped organ-
ize in 1989 after a forest fire.
More than 10,000 young
volunteers have planted
51,000 trees on 80 acres. In
2007, ReTree International
recognized Roe with the
Frank Lockyear Award for
his part in the planting effort.
Said Cynthia Metzler,
CEO of Experience Works,
“Ross Roe is a wonderful
example of how seniors who
stay active mentally and
physically can continue to
make valuable contributions
to the workplace and to their
communities.”
The Experience Works
Prime Time Awards Program
serves to remove barriers
to employment and dispel
negative stereotypes about
older workers. Now in its
11th year, the Prime Time
Awards is the only national
program that each year hon-
ors the contributions of work-
ing seniors. The program is
funded entirely by donations
and sponsorships.
Nominations for out-
standing older workers can be
made at the Experience
Works Website in January,
when it begins the search for
the 2009 Oregon honoree.
Nominees must be 65 or
older, a resident of Oregon,
currently employed, and
working at least 20 hours a
week for pay.
Auditions for ‘Murder’ set Nov. 6
An “Audition Evening” for the next murder mystery dinner
sponsored by Illinois Valley Family Coalition will be held
Thursday, Nov. 6 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at I.V. Family Resource
Center, 535 E. River St. in Cave Junction.
The presentation, Murder Me Always, is set for Jan. 31. It is
a play about a play with a Jazz theme. There are six male and
five female roles.
Alyce Kendall and Jack Dwyer are in charge of producing
the play portion of the fund-raiser.
It is hoped that there will be live Jazz on Jan. 31 to provide
the right mood for the dinner, performance and silent auction.
